Attribute examples

Here are some examples of using attributes with the New Relic PHP agent. To use these settings:

  1. Modify your newrelic.ini file as applicable.
  2. Restart the agent and its daemon for changes to take effect.

Capture request parameters

By default, the agent does not capture request parameters.

You can use the following configuration to turn on parameter capture for these default destinations: transaction_tracer, transaction_events, and error_collector. If you want to limit the destinations that you capture parameters for, see Selecting specific destinations.

Configuration:

newrelic.attributes.include = request.parameters.*

Capture only specific request parameters

To capture only specific request parameters, you can pass a list to attributes.include:

Configuration:

newrelic.attributes.include = request.parameters.user_id request.parameters.product_id

Disabling all attributes

In this example, attributes are disabled, so the include and exclude lists will be ignored and all attributes will be filtered out.

Configuration:

newrelic.attributes.enabled = false
newrelic.attributes.include = request.parameters.*

Input keys:

foo, bar, request.parameters.foo, request.parameters.bar

Output for destinations:

transaction_tracer: none
error_collector: none
transaction_events: none
browser_monitoring: none

Selecting specific destinations

In this example:

  • Attributes are disabled for transaction traces. The include and exclude lists will be ignored, and all attributes will be filtered out for this destination.
  • Attributes are also disabled for by default.
  • Request parameters (prefixed with request.parameters.) are off by default for all destinations.

As a result, only bar is sent in traced errors and transaction events.

Configuration:

newrelic.attributes.enabled = true
newrelic.transaction_tracer.attributes.enabled = false
newrelic.attributes.exclude = foo

Input keys:

foo, bar, request.parameters.foo, request.parameters.bar

Output for destinations:

transaction_tracer: none
error_collector: bar
transaction_events: bar
browser_monitoring: none

Selecting values and destinations

In this example, specific input keys are selected for certain output destinations and excluded from others.

  • The food.fruit.banana key will be excluded only from transaction traces.
  • The food and food.bread keys will be excluded from all destinations.

Configuration:

newrelic.browser_monitoring.attributes.enabled = true
newrelic.attributes.exclude = food*
newrelic.attributes.include = food.fruit.*
newrelic.transaction_tracer.attributes.exclude = food.fruit.banana

Input keys:

food, food.bread, food.fruit.banana, food.fruit.apple

Output for destinations:

transaction_tracer: food.fruit.apple
error_collector: food.fruit.banana, food.fruit.apple
transaction_events: food.fruit.banana, food.fruit.apple
browser_monitoring: food.fruit.banana, food.fruit.apple
